Very nice looking ribs.. Like everyone before awesome set up.Greensboro North Carolina

John life would be miserable without SWMBO. So i understand and applaud you for making sure she is smiling and content. No excuses needed. On the matter of dry ends obviously it must br time for a larger egg.Columbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

Yep, just like a Man-Cave with no back wall. Very good looking setup John. With a rear view mirror on the temp gauge, you'd be able to see the temperature from inside the house. That way when it gets too cold in Georgia - like below 70 - you wouldn't have to go outside.
Can't believe you've never cooked ribs ... as @SGH would say "they're one of my favorites."
@henapple had a good suggestion with the aluminum foil. May I add a few more suggestions? Rotate your plate setter out of the grooves and setting on top of the fire ring ... that adds an extra inch or so to the height of the grill. Align one plate setter leg with the dome thermometer ... that shields the thermometer from direct heat if the fire burns towards the front. Rotate the ribs on the grill as the cook progresses ... that will alleviate any one rack from hanging over the edge for the entire cook.

Very nice cook, John, and one awesome setup! (eggs, tables, patio, tv).

No I didn't build the tables. My cousin built them for me. I am carpentry challenged. I would be hard pressed to build a bird house.henapple said:@JohnInCarolina. ..2 years...why no ribs? Just wondering.
Ribs are certainly in the rotation now. I told my wife that I needed an extra large egg now to have "more cooking room". She just rolled her eyes.Louisville, GA - 2 Large BGE's -
Looks great! And yes, the XL does work great to protect ribs end to end.
You also could consider the Adjustable Rig R&B Combo with oval stone:

Outstanding John. Just for kicks on the next ribs (good for weekday as fast) try turbo and see what you think.Baby Back Turbo Ribs (No flip)350 indirect for 1hr 40 min.
(No drip pan of liquid)Before cooking: Pull membrane , rub, mustard, rub.Put on at 350 and leave the hell alone for about that time. This is called turbo ribs and I will never go back to 4 and 5 hour ribs.Note: with or w/o mustard works .. I like Bad Byron's Butt Rub / I like cherry & pecan mix for wood.If you want sauce: opened 15 min early and sauce. I like the sauce on the table.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
Thanks @Mickey. I plan on trying some Turbo Ribs!Louisville, GA - 2 Large BGE's
